Also making an appearance on the list was critic’s favourite The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Star Wars: Battlefront rounding off the top 5 in the same week that Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits cinemas.

It was the year of old favourites with regular series favourites Fallout 4, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Halo 5: Guardians all making long-awaited returns.

“The line-up of games released this year has been one of the best in recent memory”

Russell Jones, Video Games Category Leader at Amazon.co.uk

Just one entry on the list was not a sequel – the new Toys to Life brand Lego Dimensions.

Russell Jones, Video Games Category Leader at Amazon.co.uk, said: “The line-up of games released this year has been one of the best in recent memory, with titles such as Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt offering great choice for our customers.

“The fact that there were some huge titles not included on the list is a great example of how strong this year’s releases have been.

"We’re always excited to hear from our customers about the games they love the most, and results such as this help to continually improve our site to suit their tastes.”
